Propeller power problem

Hi, I was wondering if you could directly connect two 1.5 volts AA batteries to the propeller without over heating it. If it does overheat would a 10k resistor help if it intersects the battery and the propeller. Thank you a lot!

    A 10K resistor in series with the battery will ensure that the Prop NEVER overheats! rolleyes.gif

    Two 1.5V batteries in series, even if they are fresh and have slightly higher terminal voltage will never be a Problem with the Prop.
